editpdf.tools is a free online PDF and image toolkit that works inside your web browser. Its 13 free tools let you compress, merge and split PDFs, sign a PDF, fill in PDF forms, add page numbers or a watermark, turn photos into a PDF, compress or resize images to an exact size in KB, convert image formats, and extract frames from a video.

How it is different: the free tools process files on your own device, so your documents are not uploaded to a server. That makes it a privacy-friendly alternative to upload-based sites such as iLovePDF and Smallpdf for contracts, ID documents, forms and other sensitive files. The free tools need no signup and add no watermark.

Edit PDF (change existing text and images, highlight, draw) is the one paid tool. It is included in Pro ($10/month or $108/year), or try it with a $2 trial for 72 hours. Business plans start at $100/month.

editpdf.tools is built by a small independent team in India, founded by Chandan Singh. Step-by-step guides with short screen recordings are on the blog: https://editpdf.tools/blog
